GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

While I will miss my school when I go to college, I can't wait to leave at the same time. It's not perfect, nothing in this world is, but it is still home. I made my closest friends here, discovered who I am. I love yet hate this school. I love it because without it, I wouldn't have found my "family", my path in life, but I hate it because, to be honest, some of these people are very slow walkers. To be serious, its just that it took 4 years to find where I belong, and I wouldn't wish that on someone else. It isn't the best school, but it's good enough for a certain few to call home.

A lot of the teachers really care about you and your home life. Most teachers and staff will work with you to figure out how to reach your goals.

What I really love about Rifle High School are the supportive staff members and the culture that is spread out throughout the school. Everyone is so unique and special in there own way that it makes Rifle High School such a fun place to be.

I have two children attend RHS and was so disappointed in the staff and how they handle issues, whether bahavior or grades. I felt there was only 1 teacher who truly cared about my student and was a mentor. There was never any communication from the teachers or working together with parents if issue...

Very few caring teachers who actually teach. Poor leadership from the staff. I wish I hadn't waited until 11th grade to pull her out.
